The Acropolis at Lindos being reconstructed
(not restored, because of damaged caused by a poor
restoration in the 1930s). Some original items of stone
remain.

When St Paul landed on Rhodes in 51AD, it was at Lindos,
and the Acropolis is what he would have seen.

St Paul's Bay, a natural harbour, with the
Acropolis above. Today, a Greek temple contained within a
medieval fort might seems slightly incongruous. On the right, a small church commemorates the spot where
the Apostle landed.

The church at St Paul's bay is a popular place
for weddings, here being performed by the civil
registrar.

This group came especially from England for the
ceremony.

The island still retains a lot of relics from
the past. This medieval fort, built by the Knights of St
John is Kamiros Kastellos.

A typical medieval street in Rhodes Old
Town

..and donkeys are still in use in Lindos.

Some tourists reaching Lindos are dismayed to find that
there is a long walk to reach the Acropolis (motor traffic
being prohibited in the narrow streets).

These children clearly enjoy the four-footed taxi
service!

Kameros is a town that was abandoned about the
time of Christ. Why? Nobody knows.

A short sea trip brings you to the island of
Simi, with surely one of the most beautiful harbours to be
found.

The Lord of the Gods, Zeus, was furious with Prometheus
who, having already stolen fire from the God, created man
from clay here. Zeus turned Prometheus into a monkey, hence the word
"simian".

--but none of this interests Kate at this moment.
Greek salad and Mythos beer comes first.
